Living with Christ
“Where your treasure is…”
The pope’s intention for August
Prayer in the morning
Gospel canticles • The gospel canticles (or “songs”) come from Luke’s gospel. In honor of the mystery of the Incarnation (to which all three refer), it is customary to make the sign of the cross as the canticle begins and to stand while it is sung.

Trusting the host
Let’s talk • Find a quiet spot to read, reflect, and pray. You may record your thoughts in a prayer journal, or share your responses with others in a group.
Let this be the time • In the following excerpt of her book Let This Be the Time: Spiritual Essentials for Life’s Second Act, author Janet Schaeffler, O.P., reminds those of us who are “eldering” that we have a “need to live a life of meaning and purpose” as we continue to learn and grow.
